Topsail Island Visions is an art studio in Surf City, North Carolina that designs products to assist visually impaired or differently abled people and artists wanting to experiment with a sense of smell and touch. We design scented paints and textured canvases for a unique imaginative journey. Artists use their sense of smell to identify the paint color and use a sense of touch to feel the canvas and apply layers of paint with their fingers. The result is a beautiful piece of art, enriched creativity, and emergence from the darkness.
